CONNECTIONS to HEALTH

Homeopathy for Winter Ailments by Joyce Edge RSHom At this time of the year we are all susceptible to coughs, colds, aching joints, sore throats, sinus problems and many other unpleasant symptoms. Sometimes we can't avoid crowded buses, trains shops so there is no escape from the warm, moist conditions just right for passing around our germs! Homeopathy remedies in 30c potency will to help to ease your symptoms and aid a speedy recovery. The remedies are safe and gentle and very effective, they are suitable for all ages and do not have any side effects. The remedies can be purchased from myself at £4.00 a bottle (includes postage and instructions) and from most health food stores. For deeper, more chronic conditions such as Depression, S.A.D, Arthritis or Rheumatism I would advice a Homeopathy consultation with a Registered Homeopath. I have listed below some remedies suitable for self-help for Acute, short-lived illness. Dissolve one pill on the tongue 3 or 4 hourly for maximum 6 of doses in one day and take the remedy 15 minutes before or after food. Reduce the dosage and stop when feeling better. A "Homeopathy in The Home" workshop is planned for Sunday 28 January 2007 at the Ishta Centre to improve knowledge of Homeopathy remedies and how and when to use them for all Acute conditions. ACONITE 30 Use this medicine at the fist signs of colds and earache that comes on quickly after being out in cold winds. You feel shivering, restless, anxious and weak. ARNICA 30 This medicine can be used for bruises, falls, trauma and shock, it also calms the nerves when rushing around Christmas shopping! BELLADONNA 30 Use this medicine for colds or influenza with a high temperature, earache, feel as though you are burning up, redness of the face, neck or ears.
